"Isn't it?" Huayue and Zirong looked even more confused, and Mu Nan nodded repeatedly.
"Forget it, ignore them. They won't cause any trouble. They're just two worthless bastards." Mu Hanyan saw the expressions on their faces and really wanted to beat them up. But in the end, she just twitched her lips and didn't bother to say anything more.
…
"By the way, Mu Hanyan's two personal bodyguards are quite powerful, cousin, you can't be careless." Miss Zhao Si reminded him, fearing that he would underestimate the enemy and make mistakes.
"They are just two guards, how powerful can they be? I, cousin, have already reached the peak of the fifth-rank swordsman. Are you afraid that I can't deal with them?" Zhao Sining said confidently.
"What, you are only a fifth-rank swordsman!?" Miss Zhao Si felt like a bucket of ice water was poured over her head, and looked at Zhao Sining in surprise.
She had thought this top student from Zhengying College was so amazing, how could he only be a fifth-rank swordsman? She almost suspected she had misheard, not a fifth-rank swordsman, but a swordsman.
To be honest, a fifth-rank swordsman is pretty good in a small city like Blackrock City. Isn't Mu Feng a fifth-rank swordsman, known as a genius? But with such strength, it seems that he is not worthy of the words "Zhengying Academy".
"Uh...well, I didn't actually specialize in swordsmanship at Zhengying Academy, but alchemy." Zhao Sining saw the surprise and contempt in Miss Zhao Si's eyes and explained awkwardly.
"Alchemy?" Miss Zhao Si looked at him puzzledly.
"Alchemy is the secret of our Zhengying Academy. You won't understand even if I explain it to you. You just need to know that my cousin is very powerful. Besides, aren't they just two lackeys and a good-for-nothing playboy? Isn't my strength as a fifth-rank swordsman enough?" Zhao Sining explained and said confidently.
"Cousin, there's one thing I haven't told you yet. A few days ago, Mu Hanyan and Mu Feng had a duel. Mu Feng is known as one of the two greatest geniuses of the younger generation of the Mu family. Although the final result is unknown to outsiders, judging from Mu Hanyan's appearance today, he's clearly not seriously injured. Perhaps, his strength is not much worse than Mu Feng's.
You also know that the Mu family is one of the oldest families in our Anyun country. Even if Mu Ruian's family was exiled to Black Stone City, they may not have hidden treasures. Maybe they used some methods to improve the strength of this useless person.
Add to that his two guards, and your fifth-rank swordsman might not be able to destroy him." Miss Zhao Si didn't want to boost others' morale and diminish her own prestige, but she couldn't help but remind Zhao Si Ning.
Putting aside his strength, his identity as a disciple of Zhengying Academy will be more beneficial to the Zhao family's status in improving the family. He must not be allowed to encounter any accidents, otherwise the elders of the family will not forgive him.
"Is that so? Then we need to be more cautious." Zhao Sining said, touching his chin.
"It seems that I can't just rely on strength, I have to use alchemy." After thinking for a moment, Zhao Sining took out a palm-sized piece of metal and handed it to Miss Zhao Si.
"What is this?" Miss Zhao Si asked curiously. This piece of metal seemed to be made of pure gold, with intricate lines carved into it with pure silver. It also had five sharp protrusions around it, making it look extremely mysterious.
"This is called the Golden Shackles. Once activated, it will make people lose the ability to move and become like a statue at the mercy of others. You can also understand it as a spell to immobilize the body." Zhao Sining said proudly.
"So powerful?" Miss Zhao Si said in surprise, her eyes twinkling. As expected of a top student at Zhengying College, even though her skills were average, her alchemy was still very powerful. It looked like she was really going to torture Mu Hanyan to the point of wanting to die!
